Justice Brennan's Gender Jurisprudence, Rebecca Korzec Oct 1991

Justice Brennan's Gender Jurisprudence, Rebecca Korzec

All Faculty Scholarship

During his thirty-four year tenure on the Supreme Court, Justice William Joseph Brennan, Jr. demonstrated unparalleled sensitivity to the protection of individual rights. Justice Brennan's landmark opinions included Baker v. Carr, Goldberg v. Kelly, and New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. before Brennan, Supreme Court jurisprudence exalted judicial passivity by employing techniques for avoiding constitutional issues, such as abstention, comity, exhaustion of remedies and the political question doctrine.

Against this background, Brennan became an active judicial voice in a series of innovative landmark cases, including decisions requiring federal officials to pay damages for violation of citizens' constitutional rights; authorizing federal …

The Georgia Jury And Negligence: The View From The Bench, R. Perry Sentell Jr. Sep 1991

The Georgia Jury And Negligence: The View From The Bench, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Scholarly Works

It is virtually impossible to think seriously about torts and not think of negligence; it is virtually impossible to think seriously about negligence and not think of the jury. The staples of the common-law negligence system--striking a liability profile, and assessing a causal loss--are the staples of the civil jury province. The historic inevitableness of the fact, however, has never put the matter beyond reflection, scrutiny, reconsideration, challenge, nor controversy. Assuredly, controversy.

Cardozo: A Study In Reputation. By Richard A. Posner, Joseph E. Claxton Jul 1991

Cardozo: A Study In Reputation. By Richard A. Posner, Joseph E. Claxton

Mercer Law Review

Biography, wrote the great American historian Barbara Tuchman, is "a prism of history," useful as a genre of literature because of two factors. First, "biography attracts and holds the reader's interest in the larger subject." Second, in its best form it provides a structure within which intellectual analysis may find parameters that, far from being restrictive, actually provide a necessary channel for bringing the larger subject matter (a subject matter that transcends the life and work of one individual) into perspective. In Tuchman's words:

[Bliography is useful because it encompasses the universal in the particular. It is a focus that …

Way Beyond Candor, Gail Heriot Jun 1991

Way Beyond Candor, Gail Heriot

Michigan Law Review

Scott Altman's excellent article, Beyond Candor, causes me to pose this query: Does his theory contain not only the seeds of its own rejection, but perhaps also (if I am not careful) the seeds of the rejection of its rejection?

Altman tells us of the orthodox view that judges should be encouraged to be both honest with the public and honest with themselves about how they arrive at their decisions. Through this combination of public candor and critical introspection, judges will produce better judicial opinions and ultimately a better legal system, or so the argument runs.

The year 1991 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the publication of Harry Kalven, Jr. and Hans Zeisel's classic work, The American Jury.
